"Iran's Unprecedented Attack on Israel: The Truth Behind the Misleading Visuals"

After Iran's attack on Israel, old and faked videos and images circulated on social media, falsely claiming to show the aftermath of the attack. Some footage was from previous conflicts, wildfires, video games, or generated by artificial intelligence. These misleading posts gained millions of views on the platform formerly known as Twitter. The platform's changes under Elon Musk's ownership, including reduced content moderation and reliance on user-flagged content, have contributed to the spread of misinformation. The misleading content not only distorts the conflict but also fuels Islamophobia and antisemitism.
